I’ve been sitting here reading a question over and over that any of us can find in the ninth chapter of John’s gospel:

“…And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who sinned, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?” (John 9:1-2)

Do you think  the disciples’ question reflected a profound truth that helps us to explain most of the things that we see wrong in ourselves and others around us? Was Jesus’ answer about this man different from the rule only because “this blind man” was a “special case set up” for the miracle that was to follow?

And why are such questions so important?
